"The jet engine on top of the fuselage is a Westinghouse J34, delivering additional trust if necessary. The jet comes in handy when taking heavy loads out of small places. The jet-pod has a muzzle up front that opens up for intake air, as soon as the jet engine is started. Since it is so high up on top of the fuselage, the J34 jet engine can't suck up stones and get FOD. This is usualy the problem with jet engines and gravel runways."

Still, to my eye, the most beautiful civilian jet ever built, and THIS has to be one of the most spectacular I've ever seen of her. Thank you. Amazing shot!

zimbo1956- That is true... U.S. Army a/c are assigned a 5 digit serial number with the two digit fiscal year number prefixed... a "dash" for a separator, of course.

However, when this a/c was first accepted for service, an U.S.A.F. s/n was assigned.

From Joe Baugher's information, this production run, "91-0502/0514", shows the following serial numbers going to the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy...

"0502, 0505, 0507, 0509, 0511, 0513 to US Army; 0502, 0512, 0514 to US Navy as C-26D".

91-0506 isn't present in those numbers.

(91-0502 shows twice... but evidently did go to the U.S. Navy per Joe Baugher's further information.)

Obviously, the C-26 in your photo was eventually transferred to the U.S. Army and upgraded from a C-26B to a C-26E variant.

Yep! 'tis the season to hang up the floats for the year, and pop the wheels/skis back on.
Landing on snow with floats would be... "interesting"...

My understanding is that when taken up by the U S Army, the tail number has an extra zero added to reflect this. Aircraft has been upgraded to a n E-version.

According to Joe Baugher's published information, this a/c was manufactured by Fairchild/Swearingen as a C-26B Metro III. MSN would be DC-806M and USAF s/n 91-0506 was assigned to this aircraft... :-)

@Bob Hackney: Very impressed that you have flown on both the L-1049 AND EC-121! You must have some great stories of the USAF from those days! Cheers!
